Salina, NY -- Vandals caused more than $1,500 in damage, including destroying two dugouts, at a Liverpool Little League field in Duerr Park in the past week, the group's president said tonight.

A park visitor called Little League President Mike Davis this afternoon about the damage, which also included ripping the wiring out of a scoreboard and busting a security light. The park is located near Cold Springs Road (Route 370) just north of the Thruway in Salina.

"They were just going for stuff they could destroy and ruin," Davis said. "Whatever was easy."

One dugout collapsed, while the other was partially collapsed and burned by a fire inside, Davis said. It appeared the supports were broken and removed by brute strength.

About a dozen volunteers had spent six to eight weeks building two dugouts at the field for 6 to 8-year-olds, Davis said.

The dugouts, finished in late October, were the first built at the park in 15 years, he said.

"My first reaction is just anger -- all the hard work, the volunteer hours these people took away from their family to build," Davis said.

The damage will also mean that the young players won't have a place to sit out of the rain during games. It will delay other projects, like replacing roofs on other dugouts and the concession stand, Davis said.

All the money raised from 50-50 raffles, the T-shirt sales and the local businesses who offered donations was wasted, he said.

"There were a lot of different people working hard to scrape together the money," Davis said. "It was all for naught."

The Little League, which owns the dugouts at the Town of Salina park, is working with Onondaga County sheriff's deputies to establish a timeline of when the damage occurred.
